The person I most admire is my step dad because if I ask him something I perfectly understand his answer.
When I grow up, I want to be a veterinarian because I really like animals.
My most memorable Tremont experience was to run a mile in 9 minutes and 15 seconds.
Someday, I'd like to meet a well-known composer because I really like music and I want to be a composer (I already made up three songs).
If I could change the world, I would change it by writing a lot of pretty music.
The best advice I could give next year's fifth graders is do your homework.

Childhood is kind of like being drunk - it was so clear to you then, but you have no idea what you meant now.

Dynamism!

Boccioni "The Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash"
1912

Honestly, I'm not always a fan of futurism.  But this painting feels so energetic and joyful, that it's hard to resist.  As if somebody was taking a picture of the woman, then noticed the dog, and lowered the camera to the dog, and was completely mesmerized by the little running thing, with all of its short but quick paws.
